How much free space does your HDD have?
What is the email application?
Do you have a bunch of terminate and stay resident programs running, such as screen savers, popup stoppers, etc? If so, I would stop them and reboot, that should clear it up, as 128 megs of ram for 98 is halfway decent...:rolleyes:
I have plenty of hard drive space. I am using Outlook Express. And I dont have any other programs running in the background.
Alot of viruses deliberately target Outlook Express. I'd check there first.:)
I would also clean out your email folder and delete any you don't need.
Looks like a (lack of) virtual memory issue. Make sure it's not disabled or set to a very low value. I remember some older version of Norton Utilities had a weird way of serring the virtual memory.
Norton's Antivirus, the fastest way to turn your Pentium 4 2.6ghz to a Pentium 133. If u have anything Nortons try removing it and see how that helps. Effin Nortons
I was having the same problem on Windows ME when I hade 20gig hhd space and 512mb ram back in my old p2 333mhz. It really got bad when I used go!zilla.
Shortly after I went to XP - never happend again. I can remember re installing windows ME on that machine and after I got go!zilla going it started agian. Bottom line, go!zilla sux win9x cannot handle memory.
Most of the time, out of memory errors refer to conventional memory, not installed ram..or to an individual piece of software and it's memory handling. (particularly with database type programs) Try cleaning out all your temp internet files..reboot and see if the problem continues. here is a link to troubleshooting out of mem errors
